Mi. TIMMY' s SPEECH. . We were prevented by want of room from giving Mr. TIERNEY'S admirable Speieh on Friday at full length, and therefore take this opPortunity of laying it before our Readers. Nothing can be more pointed or more critre& than the observations of Mr. TIER.. NET upon the charaaer, the condtiet, and the ob jets of Sir FRANCIS Bneoerr and his associates , . ,Mr. TI.ERNIY said, if thedesign of .the Noble Lord (Nrchester) . who bad just sat down, was to prove himself an honest man, he might just as well have remained silent, far certain persons would never think either him or any one else so, who did not fcquiesce in all the chimeras of the Honourable aronet. It was the design of him and his friends to excite such an opinion. among the people ; and he • believed, in his soul, it was also their wish not to have many supporters in that Houle, lest their de signs should tail, apd ,the public would begin to think. too favourably of the House. It was t heir desire to raise a poplar ferivent, by talking of abuses which often bad no existence, and by vaunting of remedies which they never meant to put in execution ! Far. vas it from .their thoughts to come manfully and constitutionally down to that House and. state their . .complaints, if any such•-they really had. No, it suited them better to make harangues at taverns, to mount the tables at the Crown and Anch or , to tell - the people to'meet as:people, and look not ,for re dress to their Representatives', who were no longer, lit to be called an House of Commons. It was their plan to raise a cry by which the infatuated people might be hurried to their ruin, by hinting at corrup-'' tions which never had existence, and rousing ex peetations which never could be gratified. Now the Honourable Baronet, '.whom he did not mean to de signate as the leader of the party (a diitinaiou in his mind due to others who did not choose to appear so opeely as himself), had favoured that corrupt House with his pure presence, be wished to per a few questions rq him as to one of his reputed harangues at the Crown and Anchor, which pointed pretty plainly at his (Mr. Tierney's) charaaer. , Broadand indelicate were the freedoms which had been used with his name and.political life in the course of the speech to which he alluded; and in one part of it the worthy Baronet was actually represented as hay. invite audacity to say, that on his (Mr. Tierney's) Tr tiring from office, his pockets were filled with Public money. Was this charge true ? He now de-. madded of the worthy Baronet, would he dare to repeat his assertion ?" If not, he would recomme nd it to him not again to vilify the name and eliarataer of an absent man ; or if lie did 'not so vilify it, to take care that a corre& report of his real sentiments should go forth to the public. How did he know what effea such insinuation might have in the course of the summer ? How could he hope not to be at tacked by some seditious mob, roused against him by such unfounded calumnies Such au assertion ,was directly false, and he called on the worthy Barottet either to deny or own it. He did nut know bow the worthy Baronet could bring himself 'to make such awassertion ; for his amiable manners in private life, and hie conciliatory conduct, were pro verbial. .No Man could be more mild than he 'was until he Mounted 'the rostrum at the Crown and .Anchor--then all was changed—all was abuse, and Xla..far e. as related to him, calumny. In this instance OPI ~ Aisity his design but his ignorance wasexposed ; Ahdriprove it, be would offer the 'worthy Baronet, , .he wished to turn a penny honestly, some than lend pounds, provided tc would take on. him the Ptofit and loss of his political speeulatiens. But what.were. the worthy Baronet's, qualifications for thisienertil censorship ? 'What had he ever done? What, feats had he performed ? • Why,: indeed, he had harangued the mob - and mounted the tables most eloquently at the public taverns, He . had never. warded off any 'real danger, but had fluttered about durine , his public lif e , a po li t iC a l sea - g e ll , screaming at'id screeching / and sputtering about 'fop' weather which never arrived. It was true the worthy Baronet had never been troubled with office; the reasons for that might be various i perhaps the cause might havebeea his ewn disinclination ; per= .baps his immense fortune might have exempted' him from its cares; or pettPs be bad never been impor tuned noon the subjtft. , Certainly lie' (Mr. Tier ney) had been in office; for lie had not such a for tune' as could support hint independently out of it, end he would, pei - haps; be compelled to live upon bleed and onions, when the worthy Baronet was firing snmptnoasly . (a laugh.) As to his tavern ha rangues, they might go on for him long 3S the ortity Baronet chose ; and he welcome to tack whatever political changes Or tergiversations he chose, in hii conduct- - let him spout away--if the *Pie believed it, well and goixl if not, why then the worthy Barohet would enjey the applausea of 'Lie speech, and he (Mr. Tierney) would have the, ",atisfitaion to think nti one believed a syllable of it.' ' 4 " him' iii * Ount the. table, and cry, " They are-all rogues an d rascals, j ant the man for you, the h n "e 4 t man ! We mtrsc lay the axe to the root. w e n 'Llat have a radial reform." And then there -) u l d . he a general hai24, and the 'worthy Baronet alight reti re , covere d with glory,,and highly delighted at his Popularity. One Hon. Gent. of the worthy Idaroutt's friends (Mr: We'clle)" had made a great .discovery it appeared—lie was to demofish the In cOme Tax ! Now he liked this; indeed lie never ';r 41, 60 pleased in his life as when he tirst t bend of "nt discovery. It Was th e pleasantest way of laying time axe to the root he had ever irnagin:d.---lie was 114 re' it ‘vould gratify the Chandelier of the' Exche l'ithlr wonderfully to be able to.strike off eleven Mil -I'ous and a half of taxes. Now he had at last found out the reakPft why the'Hotiourable Gentleman and the Chaneellorof the Exchequer were perpetually c btriPlirnenting each other. No doubt they Were Pulling together all this time, Indeed, if the plan was realiseJ; it would' be exceedingly ; but if it was only a fallacious assertion, held out for the • wicked purpose of exciting discontent, it . . was One of 't the vilest and most execrable hisinuatiorts,— He now called upon that Honoprapie Gentleman to Produce his plan, or stand convitted in the face of• the world. As. to the worthy Baronet; : he also called upon him solemnly to state the truth or falsity of the expressions with which he charged him. He might be superior to him in point of Wept or ability, but superior he could not be ,in political integrity, sothhe boldly challenged hint to a comparison of their • lives,that their deeds Might speak their dem is, nerd 'Vile calemnintors become silent • r • POR -TrIE_STA.

Upo'n the same principle as, . you objed to Lotteries, you ought to oppose' the re venue arising from spirituous liquors, and even your i own porter, because they are often drank to excess , , and are attended With fatal consequences. Indeed the melancholy events that have arisen ;from the ' strength of porter in former times appear to have had a powerful operation upon thephilanthropy and patriotism of 1 1)6 brewers iii this metropolis,-who • certainly prepare it now in such a manner as ren ders it Vele, little likely to be attended with such baneful effects. But, Sir, it you are to put - an end to Lotteries, and to stop the Distilleries because of' some attendant ,evil s you will 'no doubt suggest, some plan that may, enable Ministers to do without such calamitous sources of revolt*, as they must ' of coarse appear to you, and yet to impose no .ad ' ditional taxation to s compensate fur the loss. ' Really, Sit, if you do. net assist *pisters with your Wis dom 'on. this occasion, you will expose yourself to, t the unjust suspicion of wanting to'add to the bur- thens of the country, merely to, expose Ministers to , disgrace by driviug diem to the necessity of aug- , shunting' the, wejaht of taxation. We live, Sir, in perilous times'. .I'here. is a party who despise .Mi• nistry and Opposition, and who only aim at the destruaion of both. Happy are that party when. they ensnare into their circle a man respectable for his properly, anti' who ought to be se for his conduct ; but 'though such a man might be. their dupe and their tools they would assuredly not distinguish him' among their viaims, if it should. ever be our misfortune to see them gain a' predomi uatiug influence in this country. 160 • Alo eft Captain BARCLAYwiII start on 'his Herculean task of a thousand miles in a thousand hours, on'ThurS-7 day next:, He arrived in London from.l3righton on Saturday, and, will proceed to Ne,wmarket this • morning, where lie will start.

The Court having found the Prisoner gnilty , of the charge alleged 9gaiust him, adjudged hiin.to be Dismissed his Majesty's Service ;"—but in consi deration of his good charnEter and condu6t, as given in evidence before the Court ; his misconception, that he having sent in his resignation rendered him less liable to the rules of military law and discipline.; and from the willingness sbewn by hirh to comply with the orders cou►municated.to him by Capt.

The Peeamble begins by referring .to the Arl of the thirty-sixth of the King, intittned, " An' Ad for the more etfedually preventing Seditious Meetings. and Assemblies ;" which has since expired. It then recapitulates the fifteenth staion of the Act. passed in the thirty-ninth year of the reign of his present Majesty, intituled "An At tor the more et leaual• .
